Henry Cavill and Sir Ben Kingsley for Nomis psychological thriller

HENRY Cavill and Sir Ben Kingsley are to star in the psychological thriller Nomis.

The story will focus on an American police force who trap an online predator, only to realise that the depth of his crimes goes far beyond anything they had anticipated.

The film has been written and directed by David Raymond, who commented: “I’m overjoyed by our cast. Henry’s got such a strong presence onscreen, but he’s also incredibly smart and has a wicked sense of humour. I think people are going to be blown away by what he’s going to do with this role.

“Sir Ben is always incredible. I wrote the character for him, so I was quite relieved when he signed on. Alexandra is a raw talent and has an undeniable electricity, which is exactly why I wanted her in this role.”

Alexandra Daddario, who will shortly be seen in the upcoming Baywatch movie, has also joined the cast.

Cavill – best known for playing Superman in the DC superhero franchise, including the upcoming Justice League as well as the much maligned Batman V Superman — has also recently completed Fernando Coimbra’s war drama Sand Castle.

Kingsley recently starred alongside Brad Pitt in the Netflix drama War Machine as well as Fortitude’s film Backstabbing For Beginners.
